WG160PR9SY548

Overview

The WG160PR9SY548 is a rectangular MIL-DTL-55302 series connector manufactured by Molex / AirBorn. It features 160 positions arranged in 3 rows with gold-plated copper alloy pin contacts. Designed for board mount installation, it utilizes through-hole termination and offers a right-angle configuration. The housing is constructed from Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), supporting a pitch of 2.54 mm. Rated for 5 A current and 1 kV voltage, it operates within a temperature range of -65 C to +125 C.

Feature Summary

• Complies with MIL-DTL-55302 military specifications for high-reliability interconnects.
• Features a three-row layout providing 160 contact positions in a compact form factor.
• Utilizes gold-plated contacts on a copper alloy base for durable signal transmission.
• Incorporates a right-angle board mount design with through-hole soldering for secure PCB integration.

Applications

• Military and aerospace electronic systems requiring ruggedized interconnects
• High-density circuit board assemblies needing reliable signal routing
• Avionics equipment demanding compliance with MIL-DTL-55302 standards

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '548' against official Molex/AirBorn documentation to confirm exact polarization, guide set hardware, or mounting ear configurations. Ensure compatibility with mating receptacles regarding alignment keys and environmental sealing requirements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 160-position, three-row connector is required for right-angle board mounting. Confirm that the 2.54 mm pitch and through-hole termination method align with the target PCB layout and manufacturing processes.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AirBorn W Series, a family of rectangular connectors designed for demanding environments. It shares common electrical ratings and material properties with other variants in the series, differing primarily in position count, row configuration, and mechanical mounting details.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with M55302/xx designations. Verify mechanical fit and mating interface compatibility with existing system components before substitution.
